It might have not been that clear, but the "until they find you" in my original comment is worded that way because it's a question of time rather than probability - they're gonna get you. You can try to make it harder (going in a cave, not touching computers) but, realistically, you're getting caught - if not through IT, through things like the pager attack.

Most people are not worried about state actors having an interest in them, my comment was aiming to clarify that as well.
I didn't mean to imply that you couldn't do the same in Haskell without the extra type-checking tricks in the article.

I guess my main point is that the actual runtime semantics – like, if you take away the type checking, which functions are being called on what – are no different from what you'd see in Python.

That differs from a lot of other Haskell techniques, where a direct port to Python would include tons of nested lambdas (which are relatively awkward in Python, and indeed in most imperative languages), and would also be fairly error-prone without the type checker to keep things straight. Even relatively simple uses of do notation fall into that category.
Pretty sure 1password can store and use passkeys.
Yep totally agree these are problems. I don't have a good alternative proposal either, I'm just disappointed with what we're converging on.

The angular resolution depends purely on the aperture diameter, not the f-number. There should be no difference between capturing the image in high resolution, and blowing it up for a lower resolution sensor.
All that should be needed is a 200mpx sensor that can output the entire frame in 12mpx, and 12mpx of the central area in full resolution. It's similar to how our eyes work.
I feel like I should duck and cover after saying this, but after seeing what Amazon did to Lord of the Rings and what they are supposedly trying to do to Warhammer, I'm not surprised the creative owners are extremely reluctant to hand over the keys to Amazon.

It would be a very different "Bond".
> They'll let you setup a passkey but then offer to let you sign in with a password first.

I am not sure if that is what you're talking about, but the standard way to implement login with passkeys is to use a normal username/password form and leverage the auto-fill mechanism to offer you to sign with a passkey if it is discoverable.

Another way is to have a two-step login, where you enter your login/email in the first step, and then use passkey to login in the next.

There are benefits and drawbacks in both of them.

Also, passkey can be used with multiple authenticators (like Yubikey), and most popular websites consider that verification of the user is not implemented sufficiently for some of them to be used as the only way of authentication, so they don't allow you to login with them without a second factor (i.e. password).
Not saying you’re wrong, but when people with kids say this, it means very little to me. Like of course you’re going to say that, otherwise you’d be admitting that having your kids was a mistake.
I mean, I personally don't expect much from the creative machine that brought us Rings Of Power.
Sure, and human brains aren’t databases either, but it’s sometimes reasonable to say that we “store” and “retrieve” knowledge. All models are wrong but some are useful.

The question I’m asking is, how is this working in an LLM? How exactly do their weights encode (seemingly) the entire bible such that they can recreate long passages verbatim from a prompt that likely doesn’t appear anywhere in the training data (e.g. some vague description of a particular passage).
The problem I see today, is that we, humans, can't find a balance in that for some reason. Less free basically translates to the moderated, and it is universally seen as a good mechanism in general. But today it is often either free for all lack of moderation, or a full scale ban frenzy, with zero warnings, and zero timed bans, always permanent ones. Sometimes due to the platform architecture permabans even prevent from reading posts. And out of the few places with warning systems, several have no control over report abuse. There are almost no middle ground popular platforms left.
How exactly would that happen? Because this statement seems beyond absurd otherwise (unless it’s sarcasm?)

You need actual functioning devices that people use before any of those hypothetical advantages become obvious.
Fisheye lenses look crazy because they are deliberately made that way. Rectilinear lenses don't do it.
> However, the entire discussion about what consciousness is, strikes me as less interesting. Is this really more than being able to conjure up memories of past experiences?

I don't think memory and consciousness are intrinsically linked. Memory is something consciousness can be aware of, but it's not consciousness itself. Someone can have their ability to process and remember memories permanently or temporarily damaged, and yet still have a conscious experience. An AI can have memory, but not have a conscious experience. (Or at least it seems that way - if something like Integrated Information Theory is true, then maybe AI does have some sort of first person conscious experience. I tend to doubt that, but I could be wrong.)

EDIT: although I might be conflating short term and long term memory. I wonder if consciousness requires at LEAST some form of memory processing, even if it's just the past couple of seconds. Perhaps the "Strange Loop" needs at least that to arise. I'm not sure.
I haven't used passkeys, I have not been prompted about it, asked to create one, been reminded to change to it, or anything like that. It is like they don't exist to me. Am I supposed to be nagged about it in order to change to it? Or is it something you have to hunt for in the account details of a site? Unsure if I am a late adopter or if the technology has not found me yet.
This.

The premise of the article is that the hydraulic analogy breaks down for semiconductors.

My reaction: no kidding, a classical explanation doesn’t cover fundamentally quantum devices.

The whole premise that your model should only need small tweaks to evolve seems wrong. The author has probably forgotten their first encounter with quantum mechanics. It’s not a small tweak. It’s a bewildering change.

Is it particularly wrong to be using hydraulics to explain MOSFETs? I’m not qualified to have an opinion on this; maybe someone is holding on to the analogy too long. For classical effects it works well.

Yeah, I suspect this AI thing is going to be a fork in the road for Apple. The buzz is that AI is amazing and with everyone tripping over themselves to add it to their products, marketing is going to be asking for things quickly and dismissing any pushback on perceived privacy.

If enough blogs expose these things (if they are actual privacy concerns — I mean I am already storing the photos themselves on Apple's iCloud, so) then I expect Apple to back off and make the feature opt-in in an upcoming release.
All social media is bad, except for the ones you personally use? If it's about discussing pseudo/anonymously, you can do that on other plaforms too, right?
It’s one of the reasons
The article is 80% about friction and confusion in trying that solution - from confusing prompts and endless questions designed to wrestle control over to local ecosystem, to use cases that just don't work with external vendor as opposed to native platform owner :-(
That was a fun one. Not sure there was anything particularly profound or sublime in that one though. :-)

Uh, I think that trust may be a bit compromised until they explain what the hell happened.
> People can have homes, even without a house. For instance, a digital nomad might live in an RV or van. They would call it home, but not a house.

I don't understand the logic at this point. The person living in an RV wouldn't be counted as homeless (RV is home) but should be counted as unhoused (RV isn't a house or any sort of fixed building)?

If someone has somewhere they have shelter and feel safe, that they return to, then great, they aren't homeless. Shouldn't we be worrying about the other people, who don't have homes?
lol, well, the companies who have already started a migration away from Bench are probably not going to stop their migration. Ouch.
It seems like this is mostly aggregating a feed of links. And that is helpful, but I think it'll be even more helpful/valuable when the links can be curated in some way that gives an added sense of context, priority or importance. Without this, it'd likely be a pretty random mix of content, unless the collaborators all stick to a well defined topic.
Well, they had to straight back down to keep Magnus, so it makes sense that they're trying to project a little control.

Old people rarely like to see things change from what they deemed 'acceptable' in their life. As people get older, most people tend to become more 'conservative' in their view of how things are changing. It is usually much worse in people of means, who are the people that have the money and connections to be FIDE or govt or business leaders, in other words: 'money people'. All such positions involve much politicking, which always involves ingratiating their own views on how the situation should be presented and seen.

Those sorts of people are always superfluous inefficiencies that gum up progress. The sooner we remove them from positions of influence, the sooner we can begin making this world a better place for one and all.

I'd imagine that Meta is trying to avoid an AI / LLM monopoly from happening as the primary goal.
They suffered when Apple was a gateway to their service for ios users and decided to shut their access to user data off.
And AI is clearly going to be used widely to aid in content generation if not doing entirely. Also they tried jumping on the chatbot hype with M or something. That didn't pan out as well.
By opening up AI, they would enable tools that allow users to pump out more content easily and spend more time in app.
Getting the goodwill of dev community is a bonus.
A brilliant move from Meta.
Google, GitHub, and a few other services have bagged me to create passkeys. I haven’t tried hard to understand how to use them, but at some point I created one on one device and whenever I try to log in from a different device it doesn’t work but passwords and MFA work just fine across devices so I mostly just ignore it. Annoying that a lot of services are pushing passkeys as the default mechanism though.

Really? I can't tell if you're joking, so I'll take it at face value.

See, I associate the earliest famous (I thought) expression of that concern with Plato, and before today I couldn't remember any other associated details enough to articulate them with confidence. ChatGPT tells me, using the above quote without the citation as a prompt, that it was in Plato in his dialogue Phaedrus, and offers additional succinct contextual information and a better quote from that work. I probably first learned to associate that complaint about writing with Plato in college, and probably got it from C.D.C. Reeve, who was a philosophy professor and expert on Plato at the college I attended. But I feel no need to cite any of Reeve's works when dropping that vague reference. If I were to use any of Reeve's original thoughts related to analysis of Plato, then a reference would be merited.

It seems to me that there are different layers of abstraction of knowledge and memory, and LLMs mostly capture and very effectively synthesize knowledge at layers of abstraction that are above that of grammar checkers and below that of plagiarism in most cases. It's true that it is the nature of many of today's biggest transformers that they do in some cases produce output that qualifies as plagiarism by conventional standards. Every instance of that plagiarism is problematic, and should be a primary focus of innovation going forward. But in this conversation no one seems to acknowledge that the bar has been moved. The machine looked upon the library, and produced some output, therefore we should assume it is all theft? I am not persuaded.
I guess things went wrong with my sarcastic remark on being able to "dictate" the margin of error.

With respect to statistics and online surveys, I'm not even skeptical but outright cynical. Calculating the margin of error with a standard deviation only works for representative samples, which reviews.org most likely is not able to provide. Adding these percentages and terms to the report gives a false sense of reliability, which annoys me.

Still, I should probably not have resorted to sarcasm. My apologies for that.
it is extremely short-sited to think in simple terms like this. what you should be asking yourself is WHY this happened - WHY did all these people come out to vote for Trump. We are not talking here about "MAGAs" - there are nearly not enough of them to win the election. every single state in the United States moved to the right in this election... so you should stop and think this through to figure out why would America choose Trump so that it is not all that mind numbing... there is a reason this happened and you should think about that why that is...

> (Companies should really validate email address OWNERSHIP before spamming innocent people.)

I don't understand why this isn't part of the normal flow for implementing Verify Your Email emails.

Someone used my firstname.lastname Gmail address on trip dot com a couple of days ago to book flights, and their Verify Your Email email actually had a Not My Email-type link in it... which apparently does nothing, as I shouldn't know that if you phone trip dot com about changing your flights, they send you an email with a Change Flight link.

I just got off a chat with their support, so hopefully my fat-fingered doppelganger doesn't miss their flights from Atlanta to Sydney tomorrow.

That’s false. The programme was explicitly launched to highlight accounts that Twitter the company had verified as actually representing the person. [0]

It was launched after the company was sued by a sports star who was impersonated. Until Musk took over it could always be relied on as proof of an account’s authenticity.

What you’re complaining about isn’t that it represented something else, but that as with any large scale verification process it doesn’t scale well and the process was opaque.

Twitter cycled through various approaches to solve the problem. At first they merely reached out to people, based on the popularity of accounts representing them, their level of fame, and their risk of impersonation (or evidence of prior impersonation) and as and when the team had capacity. Therefore celebrities, politicians, and journalists were prioritised. However, this was a flawed process that was too US-centric and too US West Coast-centric on top of that.

They later opened up public applications but closed it down when they were overwhelmed with requests and couldn’t process them all. They ran into all the usual verification challenges, including language differences and the difficulty of verifying across countries. So they reverted back to the previous model while working on a way to use external factors to allow for a scaled up verification process in the future. That process stopped when Musk bought them.

The claim that it was only handed out to people for social cachet doesn’t hold water. For one, Republican politicians, Fox News and other conservative publication journalists, and sufficiently notable right-leaning celebrities all had blue ticks. The company even verified Jason Kessler, though that stirred up a public controversy that forced it to pause the programme for a bit. [1]

It wasn’t a perfect programme of course, but it did what it said it would: If you saw that an account had a blue tick you could trust it meant it was an authentic account that Twitter had verified. That aspect of the system never failed.
